Meghan Markle has done nothing but impress us with her modern approach to royal hairstyling - loose waves and low-slung buns included - so, like the rest of London, we're now hankering after an appointment with sought-after hairdresser Miguel Perez, who recently admitted to The Mail On Sunday that he is Meghan's go-to stylist in the UK capital.

Miguel, who is an ambassador for Hair Rituel by Sisley Paris, has also shared his favourite hair trick on the brand's website, advising, "When hair is dry, put conditioner on the ends before you shampoo, that will build up the moisture and improve the condition, and then shampoo and condition as normal.
